明けましておめでとう御座います！

At least for the last three years or so, we have enjoyed perfectly clear sunrise, with nary a cloud in sight.

This morning though was quite cloudy, and we waited for about twenty minutes for the sun to peek through (and peak above) the heavy clouds.

Because of the clouds though, we were able to witness an incredibly lovely sight: the sun’s rays forging through. Priceless.

And of course the always, always, shines through.

This year we chose a new location and thankful we could get a good view. It was worth the try.

Happy 2026!!
